Day Nurseries Owned by Happy Jays Nursery Ltd

Jays. All the staff are beyond brilliant and really put their all into creating a happy, fun and safe environment for all the children attending. My daughter has come on leaps and bounds since joining and has completely come out of her shell socially. Our daughter’s key worker is fantastic and she has built such a special bond with her and has our complete trust when it comes to our daughter. Each day is never the same at Happy Jay’s as they are always doing something new, creative and fun with the children. As parents, both me and my husband have complete confidence in this nursery. Thank you Happy Jays for letting us relax when dropping her off, knowing she is in capable hands.

and although there is plenty of outdoor play there are also lots of activities where everybody gets involved.
They work with parents to make sure that there are plans in place to help where there are development needs however the development of all of the children is important to them
My grandson is so comfortable with the staff at the nursery and he has come on so much since starting there.
Although communication was okay it was an area which needed improvement and it has. When I pick him up I get a rundown of his morning, what he has done, what he has eaten etc.
Happy Jays in York recently received a 'good' rating from Ofsted and I believe this is so well deserved. They are such a great team.

The staff they have in place at the moment are great and each and every one of them have made time to build a relationship with my son and myself!
I know my son is in very safe hands when I drop him off and his development so far just proves that this is the correct nursery for him to attend!

children. They did try to use the same staff, but it wasn't always possible. The number of times I went in to collect my son to be greeted by different staff was ridiculous. High turnover of permanent staff, I counted at least 6 in 4 months.
I had to fight to be allowed back in the nursery to collect my son.
There were multiple times my son had napped late afternoon and when I mentioned he shouldn't be napping, the standard response was 'oh should he not'. Most likely because the staff aren't permanent and it would be time-consuming to update all the different agency staff!
Communication on what was going on at the nursery was limited. Over 2 months there were just 5 observations uploaded to.

nursery. They have given him the best possible start I could have wished for and I am truly grateful to them for this. You deserve all the recognition and more. Thank you to all the staff at Happy Jays York. Absolutely amazing.

in my eyes. I am not looking forward to the day my dear daughter leaves!
My children have learnt so much from this place and it's thanks to the amazing people who work there!

is so much for the children to do and has a very close knit feel to the setting. I couldn't recommend this nursery any more than I already do, I tell family and friends all the time how great they all are with her. Keep up the good work it's amazing.

start due to the care given at the nursery, nothing was ever too much trouble. Now my little girl has started in the baby room and couldn't be happier, she is thriving. The food in the nursery is well cooked and very nutritious with a great variety of different foods on the menu.

now due to start at our local school nursery. Having been at Happy Jays has prepared him in so many ways. He is well advanced for his age and I believe this is down to the teaching and learning that he has received from all the staff. The nursery is bright and open with an added nursery garden which is a great place to learn about the world around them, this is something my son enjoys as he loves been outdoors. All the staff are friendly and polite who all seem to really enjoy what they do.
